Aerospace Radome Impingement Test (Year 2)

To continue finishing up the Aerospace Radome Impingement Testing project. The follow on should be to strengthen the enclosure structure, produce a repeatable aiming system and mounting. Enclose the pressure system. Upgrade the radome mounting system that will anchor it the the system chamber (enclosure) and produce repeatable mounting of the radome (X,Y,Z positioning). To investigate achieving higher Mach numbers for the bead impact. Provide a complete user manual and repair manual. A thorough document review and calculation for equivalent impact damage of a solid bead in imitation/emulation of a meteorological particle (rain drop, hail stone, bird beak, sand, small gravel, It seems the method is used in industry – increase the confidence and comfort level with the method.
